For you to be closer to Allah. Do you have to pray to him for him to take a step closer to you, or reveal him self to you?

Insha allah (God willing) we both will die one day and then when we both stand in front of Allah then He will give u the answer. it is easy to mock now but u will feel the heat one the Day Of Judgement.
may Allah bless u and guide u in the right path and forgive ur sins.

Quite amazing that for a question of Muslims so many non-muslims have bothered to answer.
It is said that when you pray to Allah, you take a step closer to Him, and He takes ten steps towards you.
The idea of Allah revealing himself to an individual in this life does not exist in Islam. The Quran is a guidance to those who believe in the unseen and ward off evil. These people need Guidance from their Lord.
No has seen God except Prophet Muhammad(PBUH) when he was Ascended to the heaven ( this event is called as Miraj).
As for seeing Allah, you get to see him after the day of judgement if you are rewarded heaven on the basis of Your deeds in this life or by His Mercy.
You cannot see God before that. Believe in the Unseen and remain Steadfast and Righteous. Seek the Truth.
God is not like the Images of deities we see.
And the moment God can be compared to anything in the world, He is not in the defination of God.
There is Only One God, Allah.
He is almighty
He was neither begotten nor he did he beget
And there is nothing in this world comparable to Him.
If anybody has these four characteristics.....
that is
He is One, he does not have any partener
He has no parent and is parent to no one. HE HASN'T BEEN CREATED BY ANY ONE.
And there is nothing in this world that can be compared to Him, which means a human form, or any other thing that we can imagine is not God because we can imagine it.
If any 'force' (we dont know anything about what he is, we know through Qu'ran how he is) has these characteristics, WE THE MUSLIMS ARE READY TO EXCEPT THIS AS GOD, AS ALLAH.
P.S. In the hereafter, Those who well get a view of God will look at Him for several long years continuously unimaginably 'amazing'( again not a proper word talking of Him) as He will be.

If you had some basic knowledge of Islam, you'd have known that we pray to get close to God. There are levels of praying also and one of them is praying 5 times a day.
I or anyone can't really tell who be more closer to God but at least I know I have tried to do everything that he has ordered me to do and that is to make this world a little better.

Well I think you got it a bit mixed up. God do not take a step closer to you or reveal Himself to you. As individuals you pray to God and if you are sincere you advance in spirituality and humbleness.
Muslims worship Allah just like Jews, Christians and Hindus worship God. There is only one Supreme God and every religion's followers just worship in different ways.
Islam is a way of life just as Judaism, Christianity and Hinduism. Each teach its followers spirituality and peace with mankind and God. What is wrong is that in all religions there are groups who are fanatic fundamentalist and take their beliefs to extreme measures. This Fanatic fundamentalism is not restricted to Islam, every religion has its group of wrong-doers and righteous people.

Do nothing. Praying or not, "Allah/God" will do nothing for you, or even listen to you... he's just another man made figure to add to the list of false gods. Unless you really and truly believe in him, then yes, praying is the way to be closer to "him".

We submit our will to Allah(SWT)... and Allah is with us.. He is with u too.. if u recognize him...
And for those who said blowing themselves is the way to be closer to Allah then remember.. blowing up oneself is much better than to attack a country in the name of WMD's and gulp the gallons of oil in their land.. just for global domination...
Even i will blow up myself standing amidst the enemy if he invades my country... hello i m an Indian... Iranis are much worser than me...

Watch out buddy - your about to be called a Mad Racist... Muslims cant reveal anything - it's hard enough trying to get them to reveal themselves at Passport Control..
